28. 5 2023 - 50 km / 252 hm Dombås/Bjorli - Åndalsnes

Today we want to take it a bit easier and use the "Raumabanen" for the first section. The "Raumabanen" is a single-track, non-electrified railroad line in the south of Norway and is one of the most beautiful railroad lines in Europe. It starts at 659 meters above sea level in Dombås and ends after 114 kilometers directly at the fjord in Åndalsnes.

For us, however, it means getting off in Bjorli and taking the descent to Åndalsnes under our wheels. The ride leads through the wild valley "Romsdalen" with the river "Rauma", which cascades its way to the sea. The valley is characterized by the steep rock walls, which rise almost vertically to the right and left.

Later in the afternoon, Petrus is not so well-disposed towards us, as he opens his floodgates again and Boreas blows unpleasantly into our faces. The temperature is in the low single digits and the flanks of the mountains present themselves freshly sugared with fresh snow.
